Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of MMA’s great stars, and an undisputed global icon. He was recently paid a visit by a Manchester United star.

Followed by which Khabib would retire, before finishing his last two fights.
Despite arguments being made against the level of opposition contested by Khabib, the fact of the matter is the former 155lbs champion was so dominant in his forte, that no one would have come close to besting him.
The UFC great’s stellar resume propelled him to be a symbol of hard work, kindness, and most importantly, remaining humble, no matter the circumstances.
The pillar of Russian MMA recently met with Manchester United’s latest prospect, Zidane Iqbal in an event in Birmingham.
Since his retirement in 2020, in the wake of the passing of his father and mentor, Abdulmanapovich Numagomedov, Khabib has followed in the footsteps of his father.
This is to say that he has become an active coach in the MMA careers of his brother, cousins, and friends.
In addition, to abide by the culture and precedent set by his father, Nurmagomedov has taken an active role in promoting martial arts in his country, as well as worldwide. His promotion ‘EagleFC’ has recently taken off.
